Picked this up today at an antiques shop, just because I thought it was interesting - an old mechanical watch movement, fascinating! There's no crown or winding stem, but the balance wheel and spring are still present, and if you swing the balance, you can see the escape wheel turning. Only after coming home did it occur to me it might be something nice to turn into a piece of jewellery, so I'm talking to someone about doing that!
@airadam So intricate! I really admire watchmakers. I have clumsy, shaky hands and could never achieve such precision
@purplepadma I know what you mean, the precision and dexterity of watchmakers is absolutely mind-blowing!
